“Davee’s Unlimited Character Version and Mac Address Spoofer ” is a spoofer (aka faker) for the information found in the XMB->Settings->System Settings->System Information. This version supports the firmwares of 5.00 and 5.02 and includes spoofing of both System Version and Mac Address. So you can personalize the XMB Information for whatever you need, including your own imaginary “8.32342 0xDEADBEEF” firmware and matching mac address.

Changes:

– Automatic detection of character set (Ascii/ansi or Unicode)
– Added 5.02 GEN-A support
– Added Mac Address editing

atari2600land has posted an update of his Atari 2600 homebrew game “Jack and the Beanstalk” which is based upon a fairy tale with the same name.

Release notes:

the bugs mentioned above have been fixed (i think.)

As for scoring, I really would like to avoid it, as the code that i put in to get rid of it (const noscore=1) lets me have more space to have code without the scanline going above 262 (at least that’s how i think it works.) I think I’m barely keeping it from going above 262 the way it is. Also, I don’t think there’s enough room. I only have 266 bytes left in bank 1 and 114 bytes left in bank 2. But if enough people clamor for it, i guess i’ll cave in and add it.

atari2600land has posted an update of his Atari 2600 homebrew game “Jack and the Beanstalk” which is based upon a fairy tale with the same name.

Release notes:

I’ve updated the game.

To select a type for level 1, press the select switch until the option you want comes up. The following options are:

1 – screens in order (20 of them)
2 – screens in order (10 of them)
3 – screens random (20 of them)
4 – screens random (10 of them)

I need to work on some parts where the game sometimes gets above 262 scanlines.
